"Busy with living loud"
It is good for me to read this when I was experiencing manic episodes.

As someone younger than you only by numbers, let me give you a different perspective on this; there is this lyric in a song I love very much: "Will you forgive my soul when you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?"
I guess everyone has a "not the right time to care" at any time other than RIGHT NOW.

enjoyed this sir

I can relate to this piece. A large part of my mind believes I'm still seventeen, of course if I'm being honest that would be the psychotic side of my brain. A wonderful thought provoking piece, Thomas.
